Mike Greenlar / The Post Standard Dewey Northrup, 18, a senior at Tully Jr.-Sr. High School, stands under a wind turbine/solar panel device that students created to operate the school's scoreboard. The device is now going to also be used to charge an electric car.

First a high school scoreboard, and now an electric car charging station.

After successfully powering the Tully Jr.-Sr. High School scoreboard with a student-designed wind and solar device, the district is unveiling its next renewable energy application: the car charging station.

“We believe this is the first electric car-charging station at any school in the area, and definitely the only renewable energy source charging that car,” said Superintendent Kraig Pritts. “Our energy source provides even more energy than we thought it would. It’s a real celebration of student innovation.”
